Conversation with Sam 👀

Yesterday was my first visit to Skool HQ. I was greeted with a hug from Goose at the entrance to Skool HQ with his friendly smile and incense infused hair.

He was just finishing up some work and let me know that we would be having lunch in 10 minutes or so.

As I was looking at the polaroid wall of Level 7ers in the hallway, the one and only, Patrice Moore, popped out from yet another sales call on her journey to winning the Skool games.

We caught up while I took in the surroundings, it looked just like all the photos I have seen.

We ate lunch outside by the infamous school bus.

It was so nice to see everyone’s friendly faces. The lunchtime conversations ranged from using Skool on iphone vs android, to where the most scenic drives in California were.

After lunch, I had the pleasure of talking with Skool’s Office Manager, Kylee, about faith, surrender and belief in a higher power. Time flew by.

Coming back into the office, I saw Sam was making an afternoon coffee and I wanted to officially introduce myself.

After shaking hands, I told him it was a great thing what he was doing with Skool. He said, “What’s great about it?”

I said that it was making a lot of people feel good, interacting with each other online. “But, what about it is making people feel good?” he asked.

“The camaraderie,” I said. “What makes it different from other social media platforms?” Sam was really wanting to get down to it, clearly this wasn’t the first time he had this conversation.

“Well, the sense of community, plus the hope of achieving some sense of financial freedom makes it unique, and for some reason seems to have attracted a more sincere audience than other platforms like Instagram,” was my answer.

I then asked him, “What do you like best about it?” “Best about what? The app, the games, the office?” he wanted to know specifically.

“The Skool ecosystem as a whole.” I said.

“Diversity, it has skateboarders and business enthusiasts, and everything in between.” And went on saying, “Even here at the office you can see there are many different types of people working here.”

Diversity really rings true for me. I’ve felt for many years that one of the best things about the world we live in is the diversity. The individuality of all the humans we share this world with.

I am very grateful for all the diverse individuals at Skool HQ, and all the diverse creators here on this platform. I’m happy to be taking this journey with you and look forward to seeing what impact this diverse community will have in the future.

Thank you
